Sir Robert Francis has published his report on the Freedom to Speak Up review. The report sets out 20 Principles and Actions which aim to create the right conditions for NHS staff to speak up, share what works right across the NHS, and get all organisations up to the standard of the best and provide redress when things go wrong in future.

Discussions at the February SPF wider group meeting centred on BME leadership in the NHS, the Freedom To Speak Up Review, the 2014 NHS staff survey results and the consultation on the NHS constitution.
